First Match of the Exchange Competition

Is this a strategy of using a series of attacks to force them to utterly crush Dingchuan?

That's fine.

Without even turning his head Han Qianyun, sitting in the first row, said casually, "Amos, you go up."

Amos, one of the six ordinary students in Dawn's exchange team, believed that given the strength of the opposing team, their elite students probably wouldn't even need to lift a finger.

It would be fun if an ordinary student beat you up.

Isn't that right?

Looking at her freshly manicured nails with satisfaction, Han Qianyun smiled.

When this muscular trainee with a buzz cut emerged, several teenagers in the Dingchuan training area whispered, "Amos!"

Hearing the exclamations of the group, Yin Shuai, who was standing nearby, turned around and asked, "Who is this?"

The trainees cautiously said, "This is the third place winner from the Landu Star Exam Area of Fourth Administrative Region! Ironically, none of the top three in Dingchuan's base camp chose Dingchuan. This guy crippled four opponents during the Combat Match, and the last one probably wouldn't have escaped his clutches if he hadn't surrendered so quickly."

"So ruthless?" Yin Shuai stroked his White Hair, deciding to hand over this opponent to someone else.

"What's scary about him is that he seems to be completely oblivious to pain, and his attacks are ruthless and precise. He has no intention of stopping, so you have to go head-to-head with him."

Clenching his fists until they cracked, and stretching his neck, Amos walked directly out from the Dawn Academy student group.

His companions behind him, however, showed no concern whatsoever, even joking, "How many people do you think Amos can take on?"

"Three people, I guess."

Five people.

"Boring."

As soon as the major finished speaking, all the Combat Stage in the inner area went underground, and then a large Combat Stage, far larger than the others, rose up in the central area.

But what's most shocking is the tabletop, which is made from a single piece of wood!

A cross-section of a gigantic log!

Feng Yu, who was wearing Glasses and controlling the Optical Brain computer, saw this and remained calm, simply saying, "The last time I saw this Combat Stage was when Senior Lei Nuo participated in the Academy Glory Tournament."

Beside him, Lei Nuo, with his short blond hair, looked nostalgically at the crisscrossing marks on the log.

"This is an Iron Bone Wood that has grown for over a thousand years and was discovered on a high-gravity planet in an extraterrestrial star system. The density of this wood is even harder than steel, and those who can leave marks on it are all exceptionally talented individuals from various eras."

Long Er scratched his head and laughed, "Senior Lei Nuo, aren't you just subtly praising yourself?"

Lei Nuo rubbed his nose and gave a wry smile, "I only left a very shallow fist mark on the wooden stake; as for the ground, there's no trace of me at all. But if Junior Sister Lu were to make a move, it would be easy for her sword to leave a mark on it."

After speaking, he glanced at Lu Qingxue was quietly staring at the center of the field.

Her aloof, snow-lotus-like face remained completely unmoved. With a slight blink of her eyes, her voice, as clear as jade beads falling onto a plate, rang out. "We'll only know once we've been on stage."

When Amos performed a side spin onto the stage, his footwork and the stance with his fists spread wide appeared.

Lu Qingxue spoke again, "High-level boxer."

Feng Yu, who was typing on the virtual console, praised without turning his head, "Senior has a good eye. Data analysis shows that his arm muscle lines have 23% more extra training area than the average person, and at least six upper body muscle curvature data exceed the average person by 105%."

The other club members sitting in the back row couldn't help but sigh, these two non-human opponents figured out each other's secrets as soon as they stepped onto the stage.

At this moment, Han Qianyun and Ingram led their team directly to the seats next to the central Combat Stage and watched coldly.

The students from Dingchuan followed Lin Hao to the edge of the central Combat Stage. Looking up at the ancient giant tree, which was more than a meter thick, an aura of iron and blood that had witnessed history rushed towards them.

After seeing the student from the opposing team flip onto the stage, a chilling aura filled the air as he assumed that awkward, unorthodox posture.

The veterans in the audience perked up, because their sharp eyes could see the high level of the trainees from Dawn.

The major squinted at the other man before turning to him and saying, "Remember, this is your home turf. Remember what you said yesterday! Who's going to go?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a voice rang out. "Me!"

His voice was decisive and crisp, his tone full of fighting spirit.

As everyone looked over, they saw a passage automatically clear out from an area where seven or eight people had gathered. A boy of medium build, but with thick arms, walked out. His face was dark and rough, and his eyes were bright and piercing.

Lin Hao looked at him, "Tan Tongzhang, fourth place in the Landu Star Exam Area, are you sure you want to compete against Amos from the same region before?"

"I'm sure. I've never encountered him before, but I've wanted to fight him for a long time. I really want to see if the fourth-place finisher in the survival competition is really inferior to the third-place finisher!"

So that's how it works! No wonder they stepped forward on their own initiative; this is getting interesting.

Is the first match going to be this exciting? It's a battle for third and fourth place in the same region. One person is a regular student at Shuguang Academy, while the other is an elite student at the Dingchuan Academy.

It turns out that this dark-skinned boy, who hadn't said much, was actually the fourth-ranked candidate in the Landu Star Exam Area!

He's here to play the first match, and he also has this other identity.

No one had any objections.

Mu Fan didn't feel the same way about those people as he did about these people, so he naturally had no objections.

They were especially cautious in the first match. Since the arrogant students on the other side didn't play, they couldn't afford to lose momentum.

Thus, this dark-skinned boy became the first Dingchuan student to step onto the central Combat Stage.

He walked off the stage without squatting down at all, then lifted himself up and twisted in the air.

Thump!

A muffled thud came from the solid wood platform, and Tan Tongzhang was already standing steadily on the platform.

Squat with your legs in a horse stance, cross your arms in front of you, and then slowly pull your right arm back. When your right fist leaves your left arm, there is a loud bang, and your right arm extends diagonally to the side.

The person's posture was perfectly matched and in no way inferior to the one opposite them.

"Tree Strike Fist Style Fighting Technique." Seeing Tan Tongzhang's starting stance—a loud thud as his right arm pulled back and then extended diagonally— Lu Qingxue directly identified the fighting style inherited by the young man.

After hearing Lu Qingxue's voice Long Er others turned their gaze to Feng Yu, who was standing to the side.

"Tree Strike Fist Style, an A-level fighting style, originated from Landu Star. Currently, it is the only fighting style in the Landu Star Tree Strike Fist Dojo, and the head of the dojo is a level 23 boxer... Tan Jieming!" Feng Yu promptly added the information.

"Tan Tongzhang, Tan Jieming, so this kid has formal training."

"Did you figure out that Amos's fighting style over there, senior?"

"It should be a branch of my My Style Fighting Technique, but we need to see him make a move to determine that." Whenever martial arts or Fighting Technique are mentioned, Lu Qingxue can always give the most accurate and timely answer.

She is truly a woman who has completely devoted herself to martial arts.

After glancing at Lu Qingxue with a sigh, Lei Nuo put his mind at ease and prepared to calmly observe whether there were any truly promising talents among the specially recruited students of Dingchuan this year.

When Amos saw the dark-skinned boy come up on stage, he flipped his fists and assumed another starting stance.

He laughed heartily, "I didn't expect my first opponent to be someone I know. It's not too late to admit defeat now."

Tan Tongzhang's right arm stood tall and proud, like a pine tree standing alone against the wind. He held it half-up in front of his chest. "I've wanted to try this for a long time. Third place on Landu Star."

Amos grinned menacingly, "30 seconds. If I don't cripple you, I'm leaving."

The whistle blew.

The first round of the Exchange Competition begins!
